Lighting&Sound America Online - News: NAMM is issuing an urgent call-to-action to all industry professionals to contact their members of Congress NOW to support the RESTART Act (S.3814). The bill would provide provisions for the hardest-hit businesses to access additional PPP funds, long term, low-interest loans, and supplemental unemployment insurance to assist the hundreds of thousands of creative industry service workers impacted by the pandemic.

The live entertainment industry is a huge contributor to the American economy, and yet they seem to be the least supported ever since the pandemic took over during the beginning of the year. It also has been the most affected financially, as there is no way to create profit like before since it relies on people being in close proximity with one another. For many the financial repercussions have been devastating, and yet the government has not done much to change that. The movement to place pressure on the congress stemmed from this need. I believed you should be able to speak out against injustice, like in this case. A whole group of people still needs to eat, to pay rent, to pay off loans, to keep living, and they deserve the funds to carry on at least covering the necessities. Although its saddening seeing the situation reach this low, I am happy that many organizations have rallied together to show solidarity towards the industry.
